U.S. Military Computers Recovered, Suspect Held

Military investigators on Friday recovered two laptop computers taken from
the headquarters of the U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Florida, and were
holding a suspect who confessed to removing them, the Air Force Office of
Special Investigations said.

Air Force Maj. Mike Richmond, a spokesman for OSI, told Reuters the man in
custody was in the military, but declined to identify him.

He said the sensitive computers were recovered from a private residence in
the Tampa area, but that no charges had yet been brought against the
suspect.

"There is no indication that espionage was involved here," Richmond added,
but he refused to say what the motive might have been for removing the
laptops from Central Command, which is in charge of the U.S.-led military
operation in Afghanistan.

The computers were reported missing on Wednesday and Pentagon officials said
at least one of them apparently contained classified material.

"We have questioned many, many people in the investigation. And in the
process of talking to him, he confessed," Richmond said, adding that the man
"had access to the area where the computers had been" at Central Command
headquarters at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa.

"He is in the company of OSI investigators at MacDill now," said Richmond.
"At this time, we are not providing his identity or rank. He has not been
charged. That will be up to his commander."

It was not clear exactly when the computers were taken from a highly-secured
area of MacDill, but defense officials told Reuters that OSI quickly
gathered a team of nearly 50 investigators to seek the missing laptops.
